The whole house just shook, it was unreal. Biggest earthquake I've been in since moving to California.

Is everybody else in the bay area ok?
A light earthquake occurred at 10:40:29 AM (PDT) on Monday, March 30, 2009.
The magnitude 4.6 event occurred 18...

km (11 miles) and of Morgan Hill, CA.
The hypocentral depth is 6 km ( 4 miles).

Oh, I can sympathize with you - am very relieved to hear that you're OK.

Have been through several earthquakes - when visiting a friend in Hollister , CA('earthquake capital of the world', they say), then in Tanzania (that Great Rift Valley is pretty unstable and most recently in Nepal (where The Big One is long overdue) -
and all I can say is: it is an unbelievably frightening experience!

Warm wishes from Cyprus (where earthquakes are not unknown either)

I was in a 5.2 here in Portland Or, back in 1992. It shook for about 5 secs. Scary.
